The world of design is in the midst of exciting change: Traditional design disciplines are merging with video production, motion graphics, sound design, and rich media, enabling designers to create integrated, brand-building campaigns and deliver any message, to any audience, in any media. In this Pro Session, Apple Pro Film & Video Engineer, Charles Meyer, will share Apple's vision of this new approach to creative work, along with samples of work which highlight the kind of integrated, brand-building campaigns it makes possible. Inspired to shake-up traditional design media, Charles will highlight new avenues to re-purpose and "ReMix" it using the powerful and intuitive Apple Pro Applications. You will never look at sound, motion, time and animation the same ever again!

Event Registration
AIGA Members: Free / Register

Event Registration grants each attendee two free drink tickets to the cocktail reception prior to the lecture.

"As communication experts we design, juxtapose, layout and collage visual experiences for our users. This all begins with eye/hand coordination. All students should supplement their normal schoolwork by keeping on hand at all times notebooks to draw, write, sketch and record daily visual notes. As musicians must practice daily, so we too must practice our visual skills each day.
